Turn Wikipedia Articles into Ebooks | Screencast Tutorial

Wikipedia users can now create ebooks using articles from the English edition of the crowd-sourced reference. The feature, launched September 17, allows anyone to generate free ebooks in PDF, EPUB, and OpenOffice formats for reading on a range of devices, including smartphones, tablets and E Ink readers, such as the Kindle. Users can also order a printed book via PediaPress, Wikipedia’s print-on-demand vendor.
